WAUKESHA - Most Americans believe nanotechnology is morally
unacceptable because of strong ties to faith that may skew perception
about the basis of the minuscule science, a recent study by the University
of Wisconsin-Madison said.

Dietram Scheufele, a UW-Madison professor of life sciences
communication who helped conduct the study, said deeply-rooted religious
views are dictating peoplesí views on nanotechnology. The results of the
study show an urgent need to better explain the scientific practice to the
public, he said.
